Cynthia A. DiTaranto, from Volume 4:2

Cynthia A. DiTaranto has self-published two color-illustrated children’s books. She has been published in Narrative Northeast Literary and Arts Review, Goldfinch Literary Review, and various goat journals. She is a member of NJ’s Women Who Write and a former volunteer at her local women’s battered shelter.

DiTaranto had her poem "The Synesthete" published in the latest volume. Below is an excerpt:

If he could hear colors,
Smell, taste and touch sounds….
His music would rival the greats.

Eyes closed; senses alert.
His earbuds piped in Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
Vibrations sent to Ernest’s brain.
